Classic M16A1-style rifle featuring a 20-inch parkerized 4150 Chrome Moly barrel with chrome lining, forged aluminum upper and lower, and authentic A1 furniture. Includes one 20-round magazine.
The Harrington & Richardson Retro M16A1 captures the essence of the iconic rifle that defined a generation of American shooters. This is not a nostalgic replica—it's a functional, modern rifle built with quality materials and attention to detail.
The heart of this rifle is its 20-inch barrel crafted from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with a parkerized finish and chrome lining for durability and corrosion resistance. The 1/12 twist rate stabilizes standard 5.56 NATO ammunition effectively. The pencil profile keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity, and the 1/2" x 28 threaded muzzle accepts standard suppressors and muzzle devices. A rifle-length gas system provides reliable cycling and the classic feel shooters expect.
The upper receiver is forged from 7075-T6 aluminum using proprietary NoDak Spud dies, finished in black anodizing for a clean, professional appearance. The lower receiver is similarly forged aluminum and features the Retro H&R fire control group paired with authentic A1 furniture—handguards, pistol grip, and stock that honor the original design while meeting modern standards.
This rifle arrives with one 20-round magazine and is chambered in 5.56 NATO, making ammunition readily available and affordable. Whether you're a collector, a shooter who appreciates historical design, or someone seeking a reliable, accurate rifle, the Harrington & Richardson Retro M16A1 delivers.
This is a rifle that respects its heritage while performing like a modern firearm should. It's accurate, reliable, and built to last.
